Lease-return costs depend on the contract, accepted wear standard and documented vehicle condition. A careful review before handover reduces surprises.

Inspect before authorising work

AVP checks exterior, wheels, glass and cabin, photographs relevant damage and discusses costs before repair. The lessor’s return guide remains the reference for what counts as acceptable wear.

Paint and bodywork

Polishing can improve suitable clearcoat marks. Deeper damage may need touch-up, local refinishing or panel work; polishing around a filled scratch cannot guarantee a seamless colour match.

Paintless dent repair suits selected accessible dents with intact paint. Creases, stretched metal and structural damage need a different process.

Interior repair

Cleaning addresses soil and staining. Selected leather coating damage or small holes may be repaired, while split seams, weakened material and airbag areas need specialist upholstery work.

A prioritised plan can be cost-effective, but AVP does not claim to be universally the cheapest or guarantee savings against the final lessor assessment.
